The rising incidence of problems related to high blood pressure and a weak immune system as well as the gravitation toward preventative healthcare is driving the European market for nutritional solutions in immune and antihypertensive health, according to a new Frost & Sullivan report titled “European Market for Nutritional Solutions in Immune and Antihypertensive Health.” Ingredient manufacturers in this space are cashing in on the growing awareness of the potential of immune health ingredients in preventing flu-like symptoms and respiratory infections. In particular, health ingredients that offer cholesterol- and blood pressure-lowering benefits are poised to pick up traction, the report stated. Although blood-pressure-lowering ingredients are not currently very popular, they are expected to catch up slowly due to improving consumer awareness. The report indicated the market earned revenues of nearly $578 million in 2009 and estimates this to reach about $839 million in 2016. For further information: www.frost.com
